Car converted for rail

According to the sign, this was a "rail autocar type Warszawa, 1968" and was used for "personal transport." I had thought it was a much earlier vintage the first time I saw it, but confirmed this on our second visit.

This is a beautiful image, Helen. I would think that this was an inspection car for some officials. Some US railroads had these cars that had railroad wheels. Nice job. V.

I can imagine this going along on the tracks and a train comes up behind it like in the old movies :-)

Amazing what ideas they had! I think this is a Volvo PV 444. Excellent shot. V

Must be a great way to travel! Maybe they used this for quick interventions in case of defects.
